Loading PlayN sound assets in Xamarin

Question

I followed the iOS build Wiki, but I can't get the sound assets to load right.

I created the symlink as described:

cd mygame/ios 
ln -s ../assets/src/main/resources/assets assets

The images in assets/images are loaded correctly but not the sound files under assets/sounds.

I get the error WARN: Missing sound: sounds/jump1

• I see my sound files in Xamarian under 'Solution'
• I have both '.caf' and '.wav' files types
• both files can be opened by 'QuickTime'.
• The same source works on java platform.
• Tested on the iPhone simulator and the real device.

Edit:

I checked the iPhone's file system, and noticed that the sound files are never loaded in the device, even when put in the same folder as the png files, which explains the FileNotFoundExceptions..

Answer 1

Well I simply had to include the sound files as resource as they're not included by default.

In the 'Solution' view, select the sound file(s), right click and Build Action and select BundleResource.

That did the trick for me.
